CSMB
Current Sense modbus converter
CSMB
The CSMB is a current meter with a modbus RTU interface.
The module measures the current on each phase of the household. Messages with the real time total power consumption are sent from the module to the charge point via a UTP cable. With this information the charge point will calculate the capacity which is available for charging a car. Current metering is done by using current transformers. Maximum 3 current transformers can be connected. The current values are stored in modbus registers and are available through the RS485 modbus interface:
